Technology

Many fast-scaling firms are growing beyond the suppliers and structures that once served them well. Yet, procurement often remains tactical, underdeveloped, or fragmented, limiting business capacity and hindering speed-to-market.

We work with technology firms to reframe procurement from a transactional necessity to a strategic enabler. Our support typically starts by identifying opportunities for increased value,  removing inefficiencies, and freeing up capacity across product development and commercial teams. We help our clients reclaim time from spend management and reallocate resources to building better products. 

Where legacy suppliers or fragmented spend are slowing down innovation, we support clients in designing scalable supplier partnership models that reflect their growth and potential. This involves evaluating the supplier landscape's maturity, restructuring outdated arrangements, and introducing partners that align with current and future needs. For larger firms with established procurement functions, we focus on enhancing integration with finance, elevating category strategy, and driving stronger business alignment. 

Together, we help you foster a cost- and value-driven culture within your business, ensuring you get the most out of your suppliers.
 

Your procurement transformation partners

In technology companies, procurement teams are often constrained to the last negotiation. They lack the platform and governance mechanisms to support budget holders in their strategic goals. We raise procurement's profile in the business and transform the function by working alongside in-house teams and stakeholders to embed best practices. Our expert, specialist support helps clients uplift processes, drive efficiency, and integrate siloed business units. We also help build teams, provide additional flexible capacity, or provide longer-term ongoing Managed Procurement Services, covering both general Procurement as well as FinOps for specific spend areas such as Cloud or Software Application Management.
 

Our data-driven approach

From global SaaS firms to digital media scale-ups, we've helped technology businesses unlock procurement's potential as a source of speed, value, and strategic advantage. Our hands-on approach is enhanced by the Connected Platform and eFlow, our proprietary digital procurement platforms that give you complete visibility over your spend. 

We address highly technical areas that require seamless integration with functions like Engineering and IT, engaging these functions with our experienced specialists while presenting credible purchase bundles to suppliers. Our knowledge of the ever-increasing complexity of products, services, and purchase bundles enables us to help you optimize what you buy as well as build sound commercial frameworks on your behalf. 

As your partners, we share our best practice knowledge and tools with your team to deliver sustained improvements – we do not leave any stone unturned, be it better pricing, improved cost management and FinOps processes, or optimized specs and demand.
